Steam reviews are comedy gold.
It deserves all the praise it has received. What an incredible game.
I did myself the disservice of watching a synopsis of the game to see what the hype is all about. All spoilers known.
Holy shit am I going to buy the hell out of this game anyway.
It does have a lot of replay value because the gameplay loop is tight, and the foreshadowing work is so outstandingly tight that every in-game conversation has a second layer of meaning once you know the story twists.
Also they added a photo mode and I kinda wanna do a NG+ just for that.
Honestly, I think knowing might help get through chapter 1. You know something's up almost immediately, but they drag the mystery out way too long for my patience, where I felt like I was being fucked around with and having my time wasted. I would have dropped it if not for my partner insisting I'd like it, and the rest of the story did end up being worth it.
Macron always has a knack to try to use things popular with younger people to score political gains. Infamously with the ZEvent, for instance.
It is now traditional for them to answer with "Shut your mouth Macron, this isn't about you".
Well, with old and elderly people you get Trump, Putin and Netanyahu; so I am fine with broadly politicians to catch younger generations.
Compared to dictators (or wannabe), I get that Macron seems attractive. But he's proven to be pro-rich (taxes on the rich have been drastically cut under Macron) and anti-democratic (he's ignored the result of the last election and nominated a plethora of prime ministers from parties who lost).
And pro police violence. Repeatedly.

You really think Macron has done good for France?
I do have a question playing this game: how many decided to play with French language and subs? Somehow it feels that is the way intended with this game
Nope, even tho the game is french, the original is English and French is a dub. They even splurged for well known/good english voice actors. But french dub is also good, so you can go for it if you want. Try both for a few minutes and decide which one you want, I guess?
Yeah I'm French and I actually played it in English... Mostly for Jennifer English
in English... Mostly for Jennifer English
They should get Dawn French to do the French dub

Akshully both are dubs, but the script and mocap sessions were done in English. On top of that the French dub was outsourced and the game director and lead writer weren't in the studio like for the English dub, and it shows IMO. Some French lines clearly don't have the same level of direction as the "canonical" dub.
However I will say it's still a better dub than most French dubs. I'd argue the bar is on the floor but the francophone dubbing lobby would draw and quarter me for holding such heretic opinions.
I've had very little luck with playing games in French lately, recent dubs I've tried all sound like poorly acted téléfilms imo...
That's a shame, because both Plague Tale games, as well as E33 might (could) sound much better in French, but I can't get past the way VA is done when compared to their English counterpart.
The English VA is really good and if you don't speak French you will miss some characterizing lines. Combat barks and such aren't subtitled, and neither is what little passive chatter between NPCs there is.
I've been told the French is rather mediocre compared to the English.
I'm french, and I found it really good. But it's only my humble opinion ^^. All my french friends played it in french, and none of them found it bad to my knowledge.

English Esquie is one of the most delightful things I've ever had the joy of experiencing. He's voiced by the same person in both, but in French he just sounds French. In English he gets to have a French accent. Every character with a French accent is at odds with the main cast in a way that's very flavorful. It just makes all the Frenchness really pop, like mixing sweet and salty.
Daym, I'm very interested in sprucing up my french and this sounds like a great way to do that.
I switched to french with English subtitles.... Because Mielle sounded like Shadowheart. It was fine for most stuff, but all of the jump/dodge/hit sounds, it sounded just like her.
Disadvantages of common voice actors....

It meets the hype. Fully.
Absolute. Cinema!
French president holding to shred of relevancy and noteworthiness tries to coopt national success he had nothing to do with. Now to our main story tonight, is the weather getting colder?

I still cannot get into the mood to finish it. I just got the bouncy giant and moody boy #2, but I'm too zapped to continue. It needs to become an animated series like Arcane
